And much to my dismay, I am writing on this blog, as I feel that we need my half of the story.

Since we will be documenting our daily occurrences, I have talked Shauna into letting me disclose my version of what has taken place every other entry. As per usual there is always two sides of any story, and somewhere in the middle is exactly where the real story lies. We made a deal not correct each other's story from the previous day so I guess you have to take our words for it when blog is entered.

This morning we woke up early. I was up at 4 AM, which I guess is due to the fact that at the start of the week I was on eastern standard time, therefore my body thought it was 2 PM and I would usually be wide awake. I feel this jet leg thing isn't a myth like I thought it may be.

After reading the paper and watching my beautiful fiance sleep for a couple hours, it was time for breaky. Down to the breakfast room were it was over populated with 19 year old males. It was tough getting a spot in line for the toaster, but Shauna just had no problem double toasting one kids toast just to help him out. I don't think he saw it like this. We eat as much as we can as the breakfast is included with our over night fee.

We decide it's time to get out on foot and look for an apartment. Saturday is the day everyone is doing this. All kinds of inspections today, as they call them. The first one we look at has a rather strong odour to it, it is kinda like the smell you have in an indian restaurant. We

skip out. The second place we enquire on is a little on the pricy side, $900 a week......$3600 a month. Needless to say I'm not sure what the inside of that place looks like. We then decide we need to plan things a little better for the next saturday, as we missed most of the inspection's in the morning-we will blame this on the jet leg.

We Have plans to meet one of Shauna's friends from UWO for lunch and then to a rugby game. I guess it's the thing to do over here. After heading back to the hostel and getting cleaned up a bit, we are determined to get on the tram service (bus) and figure we can use it to our advantage to get around the city. We purchased a weekly pass for the extremely low cost of $58 for a week. After some careful planning and a few people's input we are certain we are heading to the right spot, Fitzroy is the neighbour hood we need to get to. Well we get there, and ask lady in a small book store if she knows where the rugby games are held. Turns out we were closer when we started. In hindsight, your source should likely be familiar with the city and the neighbour hoods before giving directions.

Frustrated we decide to go back downtown to a spot that we passed on the way were there was a lot of different restaurants to pick from. After we indulged in a Hungry Jack burger, we figure that the rugby game is half over and we should just head back to our neighbour hood as we know how to get there at least. Lets try a new way, the train should get us back as we recon some of the signs that point us in the right direction. Well eight minutes later we are back in our neighbour hood and we also passed the stadium we were looking for the whole time.

Lessons learned today

1. train is better then the tram

2. always google map the building you are looking for

3. get directions from only one who lives in/or is familiar with the city

I Do believe that today was a learning experience on the area we intend on staying around for the next 10 months, so really no time wasted. I hope you enjoyed the game Steph.

We made it back to the hostel around 430, just in time to catch the last quarter of the game. Then guess what we did..... sleep until 9. We will blame the jet leg. I woke up at 9 and had to force myself to stay up. I can't believe how exhausted we both are. I am thinking that if we can stay up until 12 or so maybe we can sleep in tomorrow,or at least pat 4 AM.
